Essential Question: What are the possibilities and limitations of forgiveness?

Titanic:

Visit the following website and read the article titled, "Main Points in Senate Titanic Report."

‍Creative response:

On your blogs, answer the essential question. Pretend you are one of the passengers on the Titanic. If you are a woman, you may have been placed on a lifeboat and survived. If you were a man, you probably would have been left to sink with the ship. Think of the captian of the ship who pressed on with the trip even though he had been warned of iceburgs. Look at the officers who failed to warn passengers and only packed lifeboats to 1/2 capacity. Maybe even consider the survivors in the lifeboats who did not come back for the people drowning. Do you think it would have been possible to forgive these people in your final moments if you had been on the ship? Would forgiveness have been possible or limited for you in this situation?

Present!

Ethos, pathos, and logos groups need to present their finding from pages 39-43!

‍‍‍Journaling Practice:

Watch me do an journal entry on the part we read aloud today! I am concentrating on the Rhetorical Triangle, making this a solid LOT 3 entry! Now YOU try an entry that focuses on these rhetorical appeals. Can you do a LOT 3 entry that picks out ethos, pathos, or logos? Of your 15-20 entries (due in 1 week), make sure that at least 3 address ethos, pathos, or logos!
